I'm looking for some opinions here guys.

The new wheels look great (IMO), but~ i'm unsure as to weather or not to drop the car.....It's already pretty hars on bumpy surfaces. I don't know if I could stand a much harsher ride.


Keep in mind, I am waiting on the M-tech front and rear bumper conversion kits to arrive (any day now) and the Shadowline trim will be installed by the bodyshop at the same time. So......Ride height should be considered with the M5 bumpers on.


Question is....Should I drop it or no?

absolutely... an inch or inch and half would make all the difference.

Actually no, was just a joke about the ride height of 5'ers... didnt even notice any connection between your name and offroading... :)

just ordered my lowering springs today... so my 5er looks higher than yours :)

Its not the sport package right?

You definately need a drop with those rims.

If you think its harsh on the non sport... you would hate the ride on a sport suspension with 19s.

You should definatly drop it, it rides like a 4x4 now, a nice drop would make the car perfect.

Bilsteins are a mistake if you want a drop. The gas pressure pushes suspension up about 0.75 over stock. I know I made the mistake and am going to Koni

if he's going to do this, he should get the whole package with the sway bars.
